Temperature

Restrictions in the form of temperature values can be imposed for most types of geometric and grid entity. Such restrictions also apply to thin-walled elements.

To create or change temperature boundary conditions , you should:

These interactive operations correspond to the commands:

create temperature [ID] [name <'name'>] [{add | on} {nodeset | volume | surface | curve | vertex | hex | tet | face | tri | edge | node} <entity_list>] [value <val>]

create temperature [ID] [name <'name'>] [{add | on} {nodeset | volume | surface | curve | vertex | hex | tet | face | tri | edge | node} <entity_list>] [{top <val> bottom <val> | [middle <val>] [gradient <val>]}]

modify temperature {ID_list|'name'|all} [name <'name'>] [{add | remove} {nodeset | volume | surface | curve | vertex | hex | tet | face | tri | edge | node} <entity_list>] [value <val>]

modify temperature {ID_list|'name'|all} [name <'name'>] [{add | remove} {nodeset | volume | surface | curve | vertex | hex | tet | face | tri | edge | node} <entity_list>] [{top <val> bottom <val> | [middle <val>] [gradient <val>]}]

The value parameter defines the value to be entered temperatures.

Setting temperatures for thin-walled elements

To set temperature boundary conditions on thin-walled elements, the parameters top, bottom, middle and gradient are used. These parameters are valid in the following combinations: top and bottom, middle and gradient, only gradient or only middle.
